Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposed 2018-19 state budget includes just $92.1 million in additional funding for the California State University. That’s simply not enough. CFA proposes the CSU budget augmentation be $422.6 million, which would increase access to the CSU for an additional 18,205 students.

State funding for the CSU will be a main topic of a hearing by the state Senate Budget Subcommittee 1 on Education on March 15 at 9:30 am at the State Capitol, Room 3191. CFA urges faculty and students to attend in support of funding for the CSU. Email CFA’s Government Relations Office to RSVP and get more information.

But speaking at hearings alone will not get the job done.

That is why CFA calls on you and other supporters of the CSU, of our students, our faculty and campus communities, of our mission to educate Californians, and of the future success of this state, to come to the State Capitol on April 4.

Campus CFA Chapters are organizing contingents to head to Sacramento, including buses from some CSU campuses.

We need you to show up and raise your voice to restore funding to the CSU so we can serve students and do our jobs. Your participation will help to drive home that message. RSVP here to attend
